Tradition haa It that ones upon a Urns, for a single day, since clrlHxaUoe obtained a footing on this continent. the bed of the Niagara river was dry and the cliffs down which the mighty waters have since plungeJ without cessation stood forth naked and black and frowning and grim.

It must suggest to most people a surprise of hardly less degree to be informed that Lake Erie la in danger of becoming so shallow as to offer serious obstacles to nariWe can conceive of the Niagara being Jammed at its source, but few have ever dreamed that the vast expanse of water which furnishes it Its life current would ever perceptibly shrink. That is the startling report, however. that the chief engineer of the marine department of Canada has Just made. He has returned to Ottawa from a tour of Inspection t>f the upper lakes, and states that Lake Erie Is lower than was ever known to be the case before. This condition Is due. he thinks, to a series of dry seasons. to the drain made by the power development works at Niagara Fsfls and to the fact that dredging the Tonawanda canal has made It easier for water to escape from the lake. He considers it imperative that the United States government adopt remedial measures at an early date, else navigation upon Its present basis will be seriously interferred with. He offers no suggestions as to what remedies should be applied. The seasons are not likely to remain always dry. though when a body of water like this great Inland sea 1s appreciably affected It Is about the most startling commentary yet noted upon the policy of stripping the country of its forests of the at best is one of the shallowest of the great chain.
